Kind of interesting, but the 18 to 24 year olds on Facebook only 10 percent? That one surprises me.

I read an article about how to deal with parents and grandparents on facebook, and almost e-mailed it to my dad, but it's starting to get humorous now to myself and my sibs how he is always in the middle of all our face book activity.
